Summit Public Schools
The client
Summit Public Schools is a network of free, public charter schools in California and Washington State dedicated to ensuring every student can lead a fulfilled life — one with purposeful work; financial security; fulfilling personal relationships; engagement in the community; and the physical health needed to engage in daily life.
Founded in 2003 by a group of local families, Summit now operates 10 schools in California and Washington State and shares its instructional approach — Summit Learning — with more than 380 schools, 3,800 educators, and 72,000 students across the country for free. They also operate the Summit Learning Teacher Residency Program, which creates a pipeline of diverse educators who are uniquely prepared to teach in Summit Learning classrooms.
The project
Having just undergone an organizational rebrand, Summit needed that brand built out into a robust suite of materials across both organizations — from research reports that articulated the data at the core of the Summit Learning approach, to annual reports showcasing Summit Public Schools’ impact, to social media graphics and more.
